International Student House - Washington

Whether you are planning a work seminar, wedding or an important reception, consider hosting your event at International Student House. Located in the Dupont Circle Historic District we are two blocks from the Dupont Circle metro station.

Ella Burling Hall is a magnificent 27 by 47 foot drawing room and is still furnished with the museum quality Elizabethan and European antiques that that were originally acquired when our building was a private home. The furnishings are used as focal points for receptions and catering to provide warmth, elegance and intimacy to your event. Arranged as a drawing room, a few people or group up to 30 can sit informally around the fireplace. Just as easily, the Hall can accommodate a large reception and retain the charm and intimacy of the room. Often used for receptions and parties, Ella Burling Hall can also be arranged to host workshops, seminars, concerts and lectures.

The carved oak paneled Gallery with oriental carpets and old brass samovars welcomes guests to Ella Burling Hall and provides additional space for receptions of up to 115 guests. Enter our garden through the art glass doors of our reception area. Shaded by magnolias, the garden provides a respite from urban life. The garden can be rented alone for receptions, ceremonies and concerts or used in conjunction with Ella Burling Hall and the Gallery.

A Yamaha "Conservatory" model piano is available for musical events or when live music is called for. The piano is tuned regularly and often musically talented residents are available to entertain.

Inappropriate content: Colorful language and imagery is fine, but there's no need for threats, harassment, lewdness, hate speech, and other displays of bigotry.

Conflicts of interest: Your contributions should be unbiased and objective. For example, businesses and their employees shouldn't write reviews about themselves or their competitors.

Promotional content: Unless you're adding content to your own business profile, we generally frown upon promotional content. Let's keep the site useful for consumers.

Relevance: Please make sure your contributions are relevant and appropriate to the where you’re posting them. For example, reviews aren't the place for rants about a business's employment practices, political ideologies, extraordinary circumstances, or other matters that don't address the core of the consumer experience.

Privacy: Don't publicize other people's private information. While some businesses may be identified by the people behind them (e.g., an owner), you should generally avoid posting other people's full names, personal phone numbers and email addresses.
